@ar-agents/bind

BIND APIBANK (Banco Industrial BaaS) agent toolkit for the Vercel AI SDK 6+. Typed tools for immediate transfers (CBU/CVU/alias), DEBIN collections, echeqs, account movements, and CBU/CVU ownership lookups. Adapter pattern: real JWT HTTP client behind a pluggable adapter, structured unconfigured default so unit tests never call the network.

pnpm add @ar-agents/bind

Maturity (read this first)

Honest status of v0.1:

• The real HTTP client (HttpBindAdapter) is shipped and tested against mocked fetch. It defaults to the unconfigured adapter until BIND onboarding credentials are wired: BIND APIBANK access is granted via commercial onboarding with the bank (credentials + a client certificate for the TLS channel + the production base URL).
• Endpoint paths, the JWT auth flow, and the request/response field names used here are verified against BIND's public apidoc (sandbox.bind.com.ar/apidoc, APIBank SandBox v1.7.15, fetched 2026-06-12). See AGENTS.md for the per-endpoint verified/designed table.
• What is NOT verified: the production base URL (not published openly), the full enum value sets behind "Valores permitidos" links (concepts, currencies, echeq statuses), and deep echeq detail fields. Schemas keep unknown upstream fields via loose objects so nothing breaks when BIND returns more than the docs show. Verify against the sandbox during onboarding before moving real money.

Quick start

import { Experimental_Agent as Agent } from "ai";
import { bindTools, HttpBindAdapter } from "@ar-agents/bind";
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic";

const tools = bindTools({
  adapter: new HttpBindAdapter({
    username: process.env.BIND_USERNAME!,
    password: process.env.BIND_PASSWORD!,
    // baseUrl defaults to https://sandbox.bind.com.ar/v1
  }),
  // Deterministic human-in-the-loop gate for transfers. ALWAYS wire
  // this in production: bank transfers are irreversible.
  requireConfirmation: async (op, args) => myUi.confirm(op, args),
});

const agent = new Agent({
  model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-7"),
  tools,
  system: "Sos un asistente de tesoreria para una pyme argentina.",
});

What you get

Six tools, all returning a structured BindResult<T> envelope ({ ok: true, data } or { ok: false, code, message }), so the LLM always receives something it can reason about:

Tool	What it does
bind_list_accounts	List bank accounts with balances. Source of account_id.
bind_get_movements	Account movements (credits/debits) with date filters + paging.
bind_get_cbu_owner	Who owns a CBU/CVU/alias. Call BEFORE paying.
bind_create_transfer	Immediate transfer to CBU/CVU/alias. IRREVERSIBLE. Gated.
bind_create_debin	Pull funds via DEBIN (the buyer approves on their side).
bind_get_echeqs	List echeqs by status and perspective (ISSUER/RECEIVER).

Adapter pattern

The tool layer never touches the network directly. It calls a BindAdapter. The default is UnconfiguredBindAdapter, which resolves { ok: false, code: "unconfigured" } on every call instead of throwing, so an agent without credentials degrades gracefully and tells the user the integration is not set up.

import { HttpBindAdapter, BIND_BANK_ID } from "@ar-agents/bind";

const adapter = new HttpBindAdapter({
  username: process.env.BIND_USERNAME!,
  password: process.env.BIND_PASSWORD!,
  baseUrl: process.env.BIND_BASE_URL, // production URL from onboarding
  bankId: BIND_BANK_ID, // 322; Banco de Valores uses 198
});

HttpBindAdapter handles the JWT lifecycle for you: lazy login via POST /login/jwt, proactive re-login 60 seconds before expires_in elapses, and a single retry with a fresh login on an unexpected 401. The auth header is the literal Authorization: JWT <token> scheme that BIND uses (not Bearer).

Safety: the transfer gate

bind_create_transfer moves real money and cannot be undone once COMPLETED. Two layers of protection:

• The tool description instructs the model to verify the destination with bind_get_cbu_owner and confirm with the user first.
• The requireConfirmation option is a deterministic gate: when set, the transfer tool will not execute until your callback resolves true. Declines return a structured refusal, the adapter is never called.

Amounts

BIND uses decimal pesos (amount: 10.5 = ARS 10,50). This differs from @ar-agents/uala and @ar-agents/mercadopago conventions, so do not copy centavos-based amounts across packages.
